Also received In Bruges from Sweden. The inner core of the disc appear cracked, I might give it a spin anyway now that they failed to send me a replacement. They said it's OOP, duh pretty lame excuse indeed!

So I bought it (The only copy), and now I have if not the only copy two months in advance. Can't watch it though. "Passengers" is region locked. But not to worry. I have a brand new Multizone Blu Ray Disc Player on the way. Just waiting for my supplier to release a new model. It is not made by one of the major brands. It is made locally in Australia. In times like these, you need to support jobs in your country, not buy products that are made elsewhere, especially China!!

I also bought Quantum of Solace, also region locked. I'll be watching both in a few weeks anyway, so bought both QOS and Passengers to keep for later. Mark, what brand is the Blu-Ray player that you are buying here? How have they made it region free?

Everytime I had to ship it back, they would credit me the shipping costs. I always seemed to get back a bit more than what it cost me to ship - due to a weird way they were calculating the exchange rate - and eventually I was credited back the price of the disc as well.... Yeah, well that kinda sucks...

Too bad you know some of these companies have never heard of 'bubble wrap' before '

I got a player for Christmas with the following movies: 2001: a Space Odyssey, Dark Knight, Kill Bill (both volumes), and Wall-E. Also just bought Eagle Eye and Firefly. Will be buying the Grindhouse movies as soon as I can.

Thought you guys should know, Warner Bros. has announced some old catalog titles in production for release on Blu in April....

Quote: Warner Home Video has announced that they will bring 10 of their most popular catalog titles to Blu-ray on April 7th. These titles include 'The Wedding Singer: Totally Awesome Edition', 'American History X', 'Final Destination', 'Point of No Return', 'Taking Lives: Extended Cut', 'Tango & Cash', '2010: The Year We Made Contact', 'Above the Law', 'John Q ', and 'Collateral Damage'.

The majority of the titles will come on BD-25s, with the only known exception being 'American History X', which will come on a BD-50. Extras are also mostly unknown, though we do know the follow information:

The BatPod looks great, tested the disc and the IMAX scenes are incredible. I had doubts about the shifting rations, but turns out it doesn't bother you at all. The timing and the way they managed to do it is exceptional, very well done in this respect!

Bought today - Eagle Eye and The Women. As I predicted, both arrived two weeks early. Also saw Burn After Reading, GhostTown and The Duchess in store but will get them another time.

Here is a nice pic of my beautiful purchases today. I'm now finding it strange to hear that I can get some of January releases before Christmas. :shock:

I have just found a new Blu Ray website/Forum that is way cool!!! You not only get news, but get to chat with other Blu Ray lovers and you get your own Blu Ray Collection built into your profile. Nice!!!

I know. Sony and Pioneer always give away s**t movies with their Blu Ray Disc and DVD Players, when they first come out. But Transformers here is an only exception, which me and my brother enjoyed very much.

Oh and if any of you fans overseas who want info on New Blu Ray Titles as to whether they are region free or region locked, feel free to ask me here. My store gets new releases one to two weeks in advance and can check straight away. Just found out today that the new film "Traitor" from Overture is Region Locked.

jmcclane 88 wrote: Don't know whether to buy all Blu or mix with dvds. Decisions decisions!!! I'd say only get SD when it's not available on BD really. There are a lot of great films out there that didn't get HD treatment, Snow Angels as the most recent example.

Well, there's a problem with dialogue being lower than the rest of the sound on the Swedish BD, which has DTS HD Master Audio 7.1. Hopefully, there won't be a problem with the Japanese disc. Also, that one has the original theatrical poster artwork on the cover, something that's always positive.

I'm still not done with collecting DVD's and BDs for Prince Caspian though.
